Cheng Biting Jin's Township League Alliance made Xu Shiji and others very interested. What they are interested in is not to suppress bandits and make meritorious contributions, but to protect themselves. They are all local heroes, and they used to be famous families of Shi Wei Shiqi, but after the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Qi, Wei inherited the Northern Zhou and Western Wei Dynasty, and these noble families in the Kanto region were naturally suppressed.

If you are politically unhappy, you can only be a local tyrant in the countryside.

But now the local tyrants are not easy to be, not to mention that the court and the local authorities send war donations and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses to these local tyrants at every turn, which they can't resist, so they can only admit it. However, there are many thieves in the local area, but they seriously threaten their roots.

The government's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are just plucking. They have a lot of hair, and they won't be bald right away. But bandits are different, bandits won't be polite to you, if you really want to let the bandits get their hands on them, it will be a tragic event.

Originally, the imperial court had military offices stationed in various places, and there were more than 700 military offices in the Great Sui Dynasty, and there were soldiers in the border areas. As many as 700,000 people of the Weifu army, the number is extremely large. However, the Weifu army was mainly stationed in Guanzhong and the vicinity of Liangjing, and the rest of the places were relatively few.

Moreover, although there are military governments in various localities, the transfer of military governments is extremely troublesome, and local governments have no right to mobilize a single soldier at all. Even if you want to mobilize more than ten soldiers in the Guard, you must have the military talisman of the military department, and you must also have the order of the twelve guards.

It is precisely because of these rules and regulations that unless there is an emergency such as rebellion in the local government, the general government soldiers will not care about it at all. You said that there were some bandits and thieves, and you want to ask the government soldiers to clean them up, so let's dream.

That's why there is a county soldier system, and each county has a county commander to lead the county soldiers. However, the county soldiers are a group of militias, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

In desperation, in order to protect themselves, local heroes such as Xu Shiji will take care of the government and give themselves the title of township military captain or county military captain, not to be an official, after all, this metropolitan lieutenant is generally not a professional official without rank, they are just to be able to recruit the township brave, organize the people, and protect the family and the land.

No one else can count on it, only on oneself.

But the township group is pulled up, and it is not easy to get it, the public security in various places is getting worse and worse, and there are more and more bandits, especially more and more thieves belong to the kind of wandering type, today they will do a vote here, and tomorrow they will wander elsewhere, to deal with this kind of bandits, Cheng Biting Jin and their local township groups are a little helpless.

You can't go to other counties to suppress bandits.

Luo Cheng is also a little interested in this proposal, although it is impossible to really unite to suppress bandits everywhere for the time being, but at least it is always okay to share information.

Establish an intelligence sharing mechanism, regularly share bandits, and pass on information in a timely manner if there is information about bandits, so that everyone is no longer led by the bandits, at least they can grasp a clear pulse.

After Luo Cheng said this, Cheng Yanjin immediately patted the table and said, "That's what I mean, or Xiao Wu said it thoroughly, he is worthy of being the pioneer of suppressing bandits and thieves, and he is much better than Lao Cheng me in this regard." ”

"If we want to establish such an intelligence-sharing mechanism, then we need someone to take the lead, for example, we regularly pass the information to this leader, and then they are responsible for compiling the information, preferably to screen and check it, and then summarize the information, copy it into a book, and then distribute it to each family." Luo Cheng continued.

Shan Xiongxin and the others all thought it was good.

"The solution is something you came up with, Brother Luo, so how about you take charge of this matter? We report the information once every ten years, and if there is an urgent situation, we will report it at any time, and you will be responsible for taking the lead in summarizing, then checking and screening, and then distributing the information to us? Shan Xiong said.

"If you trust me so much, I am willing to be the one who leads the assembly." Luo Cheng didn't refuse, he realized that this was a good opportunity to strengthen the connection with these heroes and improve the friendship.

Of course, in the long run, if this alliance does succeed, it will also help him in the future. After all, history has told him that the world will soon be in chaos, and Henan Province will become the center of the rebellion, and countless bandits will rise up against the people, and it will be difficult to protect themselves by relying on one person alone.

"It will definitely cost money to do things, so we will raise money. I'm willing to go out a hundred times first, and then I won't be able to talk about it later. Xu Shiji was rich and said directly.

One hundred times is nothing to these local tyrants, and in order to show their sincerity, everyone expressed their willingness to pay this money.

Luo Cheng said, "Then I will also pay a hundred yuan, even if this money is the expense of our alliance, it will be earmarked at that time, and a special account will be set up to ensure openness and transparency." ”

"Fifth brother, why are you saying this, how can my brother not believe you." Xu Shiji said.

"One yard is one yard, and the account still has to be clear."

"From then on, Fifth Brother Luo will be the chief scoop of our four counties to suppress bandits and thieves." Shan Xiong said, "Come, have a drink." ”

Everyone toasts together.

Luo Cheng suddenly said, "Today, everyone has formed an alliance, why don't you just become brothers?" ”

"Okay!" Cheng Yanjin agreed, and others did not object.

Breaching brothers, it's nothing, since you are in love, let's bow down.

At the moment, each report the age.

Among the crowd, Zhai Rang is the oldest, Shan Xiongxin is the second, then Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Huang Junhan, Xu Shiji, and the youngest is Luo Cheng.

"Fifth brother who has been called for a long time, it turns out that you are a little younger than me, and you have lost a lot." Xu Shiji and Luo Cheng were both sixteen years old and born in the fourteenth year of Kaihuang, but Xu Shiji was born in February, while Luo Cheng was born in March.

Luo Cheng looks black, and he is naturally older than his white-faced son-in-law Xu Shiji, but in fact, he is still a month younger.

At that moment, everyone reported their age, and then this sort naturally came out.

"Brother Zhai!"

"Second Brother Shan!"

"Third Brother Qin!"

"Fourth Brother Cheng!"

"Fifth Brother Huang!

"Sixth Brother Xu!"

After shouting a circle of brothers, everyone happily shouted Luo Cheng, "Seventh Brother Luo!" ”

Qin Qiong asked people to bring incense candles.

Burn incense and paper.

Chop off the head of the chicken and drink blood wine.

"The yellow sky is above, and the thick earth is below.

I, Zhai Rang (Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, Huang Junhan, Xu Shiji, Luo Cheng) are here to make a blood alliance and become brothers. I don't want to be born on the same day, but I want to die on the same day. Good and evil are together, and we help each other in adversity. ”

"If you have different intentions, the gods will learn from them!"

"!"

A bowl of blood wine, seven people drink together.

Since then, they have become brothers, treating each other with all sincerity, sharing blessings and misfortunes!

"Hahaha!"

The wine was dry, and the mouth was still full of fishy smell, but there was a heroic feeling that was surging with the wine.

Luo Cheng looked at these brothers and felt that he was a little fluttering.
